[comp.emacs] Where to put GNU Emacs lockfiles on an NFS network?

I just installed GNU Emacs on a network of Suns and I'm trying to figure
out where to put the lock directory.  It has to be on a filesystem
that's shared by all the workstations (like /usr/local but not /tmp in
our setup), otherwise the lockfiles are fairly useless.
But since emacs doesn't run setuid or setgid, doesn't that mean I have
to create a world-writable directory somewhere for the lockfiles?
Where do other systems with networked workstations put them?
